I've Got to Stop This!

Now whenever I send Aidan to 'school', I will go fresh-faced (fresh here means no make-up and looking like a ghost lar!), wear my dowdiest tracks and not comb my hair.

So I have to drive home. And not to the shopping centre.

I bought a new throw rug. How to resist leh? From $49.95 to $9.95?? I bought two, no, three tops and a woollen cardigan. Die lar like this? How to save money and go back to KL and Ipoh to shop?

Aidan is much better today. Just like any other day. Wilkin called to ask about his little 'heong lou than' and I said he's okay. Asked me what his temperature was, and I replied 37 (How would I know? I didn't use the themometer, heh!) Reminded again to bring him to the doctor if he still has the fever. D'oh!

Am not sure about you mums but I know when Aidan has a fever by just putting my face on his forehead. Of course I won't be able to tell the precise reading, but at least it will prompt me into whipping out the thermometer. After so many years, I am pretty confident to know when Aidan isn't the best.

We had to go out in the evening today to his paed. to sign some forms, so when we got home it was kinda late. And for a quick dinner, I tried Erina's hubby's recipe. Result? Aidan finished his rice without any hitch. Or maybe he was really hungry? Hahaha. I have to say it's really simple and nice. Beats fried rice anytime now :)

Just don't drive him to shool in your jammies. Really embarrassing if you break down and have to call a mechanic. My daughter's piano had this happen on a rainy day when her cell phone died. So she had the bonus of knocking on a stranger's door to borrow a phone.

Kids definitely act different when they are ill. Hate seeing them be broken. So glad they grow out of the sickliness eventually.

I'm like you, I can tell when Belle has fever or not by touching her. That recipe is great! I will try that fore Belle.

i can never tell if J is having fever or not. Cos sometimes my hand will be extremely HOT or cold. So i must use the thermometer.
